RODRIGUEZ CASALLAS, María del Pilar. From Oralicy to Oral Language in Learning Processes. Enunciación [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.1, pp.31-44. ISSN 0122-6339.  https://doi.org/10.14483/22486798.18711.

In Colombia, the teaching of oral expression does not receive the same attention as the teaching of reading and writing. Literacy is understood as a set of discursive practices, as the different ways of using language and giving meaning to both speech and writing. However, the tacit inclusion of oralicity in literacy resulted in a practical exclusion; it made it invisible from discourse and academic practice, it and hindered the real perception of the problem. This article proposes a reflection about the theoretical construction of the concept of oralicy and the very use of the term, understood as assuming and consciously and deliberately using language for cognitive, interactive, creative, expressive, and transforming purposes. In order to achieve such argument, an interpretive hermeneutical research approach was employed by means the hermeneutic-language-education triadic relationship, where the subjects involved in educational actions, students and teachers (to mention only two), are cohesive by a mutual influence mediated by the language that conveys learning. This allows us to reflect on the construction of knowledge based on dialogue and the subsequent need for oralicy, whose foundations are language and hermeneutics. It is concluded that the impact that school can have in turning the student into an academically literate person or a discursive subject implies the assumption of roles, cognitive aspects, and ways of speaking, listening, interacting, and transforming society, which is understood as a whole.

Keywords : oralicy; oral language; reading; metacognition; learning.
